	"Educated" to Feel Inferior
		Specifically, I will explain (a) how most of us, the Africans, were "educated" to feel inferior, (b) the terrible consequences of inferiority complex, i.e., low self-esteem, in Africa, especially in Nigeria, and (c) then present the ONLY powerful solution to revert this inferiority complex so that Africa can meaningfully grow and develop.
		I was thoughtlessly taught (and children are still being thoughtlessly taught today), that "oyibo bu ndi muo," (white men are naturally spirits)," "oyibo bu agbara," (white men are wizards by nature), and "America ilu oba" (which suggests that white man's country is naturally the land of kings).

	Inferiority complex
		One interesting observation I have made over the years is that the people with all sorts of confidence in themselves are not always the most intelligent.
		As I have gotten to know, over the years, various people who seemed to abound in confidence I have come to realize that they often lacked seriously in good judgment and good sense, weren't especially knowledgeable, and that they were sometimes very ignorant, foolish people.
		The person with the inferior feelings is often the person with unreasonably high objectives and standards and expectations for himself; who is always setting for himself very difficult or impossible tasks; who ignores easy tasks and focuses on the difficult; who is always digging beneath the surface of things.

	LAist: The Inferiority Complex: Malibu
		LAist was fascinated with this week's Premiere of FOX TV's groundbreaking slave-labor, fix-up condo monstrosity "The Complex: Malibu" in which eight couples are given demolished condos to live in, fix up and sell in the most beautiful city in all of Los Angeles -- Malibu!
		Each week, of course, the worst contractors (er, Contestants) are fired off the job (er, Evicted) which will eventually whittle the group down to one couple who will, in the sexiest of all reality TV concepts, let them keep the profits after a real estate company sells the complex to the highest bidder.
		As for the city of Malibu itself, "The Complex: Malibu" has seen fit to give us sprawling views of surfers, sea-gulls, lush hillsides (see above), the inside of these broken condos and a Sears somewhere obviously not in Malibu.

		At the level of chatter about Java as a platform vs..Net as a platform and higher into the community and business ramifications, the fear/inferiority complex (at the heart of my question) manifests itself as various forms of marketing hype (aka "posturing") and mud-slinging (and lawsuits :-).
